PRINCETON, N.J. -- A light schedule for Ivy League men’s basketball this week with only four games on the ledger as teams take their end-of-semester breaks for final exams.
Dartmouth plays a pair of games this week, continuing its
eight-game road swing at Vermont on Wednesday night and at
Arizona State on Saturday afternoon. Harvard squares off against
another Beantown rival with Boston University making the short trip
to Lavietes Pavilion on Tuesday night. Princeton becomes the first
Ivy League team to play in the new home of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets
as the Tigers take on Fordham Saturday afternoon on the YES Network
as part of the Brooklyn Hoops Winter Festival tripleheader.

Harvard sophomore forward Wesley Saunders (Los
Angeles) had another strong week, averaging 16.0 points, 3.5

field, finishing with 18 points in a win over Boston College.
Saunders also dished out five assists against the Eagles, helping
Harvard extend its win streak against Boston College to five games.
